Another compliment came from Brian Truitt as a critic of USA Today. He felt Eternals really took advantage of Zhao's strengths and felt friendly to new audiences starting to understand the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Despite getting a lot of praise, a series of critics also followed the film Eternals. Indie Wire critic, David Ehrlich, said the film could do nothing but show a line of superheroes like other films.

Then another criticism came from Steve Rose as a critic of the Guardian. He considered Eternals an ordinary film, which is not too boring but also not too interesting to watch.

Eternals Online tells the story of a group of humans named Eternals who have super powers. They are said to have existed since the beginning of human civilization and are referred to as one of the oldest superheroes in the world.

This time the Eternals scattered in various places reunited to carry out a mission, defeating the mortal enemy and the oldest enemy of mankind who are members of The Deviants.

Eternals Score on Rotten Tomatoes Is Lowest in MCU History

Over the past 12 years, the MCU has usually had a perfect record on Roten Tomatoes. Each of their films get a "Fresh" rating. All but two of the films were willing to get a more impressive rating of Certified Fresh from reviewers. This includes every film since Thor: The Dark World that is considered the MCU's worst film.

Citing Screen Rant, of the 25 films the MCU has released before Eternals, the MCU has a total of 9,470 reviews compiled on Rotten Tomatoes. Of that number, 8,098 reviews are in the “fresh” category and 1,372 others are in the “rotten” category. This earned the MCU an average of 85% with an actual review score of 7.23 out of 10.

Eternals has received 108 reviews from critics, it still takes another 292 reviews to get a total average count. There are no reviews from viewers yet. But, from this figure, this film has got a score of 61% with an average of 6.0 out of 10.

This figure is clearly lower than the 2 MCU films which are considered the worst of all time. The films are Thor: The Dark World with a score of 66% and The Incredible Hulk with 67%. This also makes Eternals well below the MCU Tomatometer average of 85%.

Getting a rating of 6.0 out of 10 also makes Eternals get an average review score. This figure is well below the 7.23 average. Previously, this record was held by Thor: The Dark World and The Incredible Hulk, both of which stood at 6.2.

Changing the average review score of 6.0 from 10 to presentation so that it can be compared with Tomatometer reveals that the 61% Eternals score on Rotten Tomatoes is only 1 point higher than the 60% average review score. This means the lower reviews for Eternals tend to be the result of a genuinely less enthusiastic response compared to responses to other films in the MCU. Throughout its history, the MCU has never had a film with an average review score above its Tomatometer score. But, Eternals' current score is the closest for an MCU film to change that ratio.

Of course, this is just the first wave of reviews. So the score may change as more reviews come in. Some of the films in 2021 have experienced a decline in scores after their release. But, it's impossible to know if the film will only drop a few points like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings or as many points as Black Widow. Currently, if this film falls by more than 5 points, then Eternals will be the first MCU film with a Rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes.
